Strengthening our food security: Opportunities and challenges
Dr. Marcia English, PhD

The COVID-19 pandemic has wreaked havoc with global supply chains, forcing governments to consider strategies focused on strengthening food security. In Nova Scotia, increasing local food consumption and decreasing reliance on imports are provincial priorities. New provincial mandates aim to see local food purchases reach 20% by 2030. Dr. Marcia English, associate professor of human nutrition at St. Francis Xavier, joins Research over Coffee to discuss these goals, the current status of local food consumption and the barriers and opportunities to strengthening our local food security.
The Research Over Coffee webinar series is hosted on Zoom.
Research Over Coffee is a series that aims to bring researchers and government decision makers together to discuss new research findings of bearing to Nova Scotia. This invitation is being sent to senior civil servants and public office holders in Nova Scotia.
